Question 21

When I was acting as a member of the Council I proposed a decree which I brought before the people.

Answer 21

(Apollodorus explains his quarrel: Stephanos had charged him with proposing an illegal change in the law) ἐγὼ μὲν γὰρ βουλευτής ποτε καταστὰς ἔγραψα ψήφισμά τι ὃ ἐξήνεγκα εἰς τὸ δῆμον.

Question 22

But this Stephanos indicted my decree as illegal, and thus began our enmity.

Answer 22

ὁ δὲ Στέφανος οὑτοσί, γραψάμενος παρανόμων τὸ ἐμὸν ψήφισμα, τῆς ἔχθρας ὑπῆρξεν.

Question 23

For, having secured a conviction against the decree, and having brought false witnesses, he asked for a large fine which I could not pay.

Answer 23

ἑλὼν γὰρ τὸ ψήφισμα, ψευδεῖς μάρτυρας παρασχόμενος, ᾔτησε τίμημα μέγα, ὃ οὐχ οἷος τ’ ἦ ἐκεῖσαι.

Question 24

For he was seeking, having placed me in extreme embarrassment, to deprive me of my citizen rights, because I owed money to the state and was unable to pay.

Answer 24

ἐζήτει γάρ, εἰς τὴν ἐσχάτην ἀπορίαν καταστήσας ἐμέ, ἔτιμον ποιεῖσθαι, ὀφείλοντα τὰ χρήματα τῇ πόλει καὶ οὐ δυνάμενον ἐκτεῖσαι.

Question 25

Therefore we were all going to be placed in poverty.

Answer 25

ἐμέλλομεν οὖν ἡμεῖς ἅπαντες εἰς ἔνδειαν καταστήσεσθαι.

Question 26

The disaster and the disgrace was going to be great for me in regard to my wife and daughters …

Answer 26

μεγάλη δ’ ἔμελλεν ἔσεσθαι ἡ συμφορά, καὶ μεγάλη ἡ αἰσχύνη μοι, ὑπέρ τε τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ τῶν θυγατέρων, …

Question 27

… if I had been bankrupted and could not provide a dowry and owed the amount of my fine to the state.

Answer 27

… εἰς πενίαν κατασάντι καὶ προῖκα οὐ δυναμένῳ παρασχεῖν καὶ τὸ τίμημα τῇ πόλει ὀφείλοντι.

Question 28

I am deeply grateful to the jurors who were not persuaded by Stephanos, but who inflicted a lesser penalty on me.

Answer 28

πολλὴν οὖν χάριν οἶδα τοῖς δικασταῖς, οἳ οὐκ ἐπείσθησαν ὑπὸ Στεφάνου, ἀλλ’ ἐλάττονά μοι ἐτίμησαν δίκην.

Question 29

Stephanos therefore became the cause of such great evils for us all, though he had never been wronged by me.

Answer 29

οὐκοῦν τοσούτων κακῶν αἴτιος ἡμῖν ἐγίγνετο Στέφανος, οὐδέποτε ὑφ’ ἡμῶν ἀδικηθείς.

Question 30

And now with all my friends encouraging me and urging me to take vengeance on Stephanos, by whom I was so wronged, I bring this case before you.

Answer 30

νῦν δέ, πάντων τῶν φίλων παρακαλούντων με καὶ κελευόντων τιμωρεῖσθαι Στέφανον, ὑφ’ οὐ τοιαῦτα ἠδικήθην εἰσάγω εἰς ὑμᾶς ταύτην τὴν δίκην.

Question 31

For my friends reproach me and call me the most cowardly of men if I do not exact vengeance on behalf of my daughters and my wife.

Answer 31

ὀνειδίζουσι γάρ μοι οἱ φίλοι, ἀνανδρότατον ἀνθρώπων καλοῦντες, εἰ μὴ λήψομαι δίκην ὑπέρ τε τῶν θυγατέρων καὶ τῆς γυναικὸς τῆς ἐμῆς.

Question 32

Therefore I bring this Neaira before you and charge here, she who is irreverent to the gods, insulting to the city and contemptuous of your laws.

Answer 32

εἰσάγω οὖν εἰς ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐξελέγχω τὴν Νέαιραν ταυτηνί, ἣ εἰς τοὺς θεοὺς ἀσεβεῖ, καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ὑβρίζει, καὶ τῶν νόμων τῶν ὑμετέρων καταφρονεῖ.

Question 33

For Stephanos was trying to deprive me of my family against the laws.

Answer 33

Στέφανος γὰρ ἐπεῖρατό με ἀφαιρεῖσθαι τοὺς οἰκείους παρὰ τοὺς νόμους.

Question 34

Thus I have come to you and I declare that this Stephanos is living with a foreign woman contrary to the law, …

Answer 34

οὕτω καὶ ἐγὼ ἥκω εἰς ὑμᾶς καὶ φάσκω Στέφανον τοῦτον συνοικεῖν μὲν ξένῃ γυναίκὶ παρὰ τὸν νόμον, …

Question 35

… and that she has introduced alien children into the phratries and to the demesmen, …

Answer 35

… εἰσαγαγεῖν δὲ ἀλλοτρίους παῖδας εἴς τε τοὺς φράτερας καὶ εἰς τοὺς δημότας, …

Question 36

… and that he gives in marriage the daughters of of prostitutes as if they were his own daughters, …

Answer 36

… ἐγγυᾶν δὲ τὰς τῶν ἑταιρῶν θυγατέρας ὥσπερ αὑτοῦ οὔσας, …

Question 37

… and that he is comitting sacrilege against the gods.

Answer 37

… ἀσεβεῖν δὲ εἰς τοὺς θεούς.

Question 38

And so: that I was formerly wronged by Stephanos you know well.

Answer 38

ὅτι μὲν οὖν ὑπὸ τοῦ Στεφάνου πρότερον ἠδικήθην, εὖ ἴστε.

Question 39

That Neaira is an alien and that she is living with Stephanos against the laws, this I want to prove to you clearly.

Answer 39

ὅτι δὲ Νέαιρά ἐστι ξένη καὶ συνοικεῖ Στεφάνῳ παρὰ τοὺς νόμους, ταῦθ’ ὑμῖν βούλομαι σαφῶς ἐπιδείξαι.
